A QR (quick response) code is similar to a barcode. It contains info that can be read by smart phones with cameras, a QR reader app, and web capabilities. Embedded in these codes are web addresses, coupons, messages, or special offers.
You can find a list of QR code readers to download to your mobile device (iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, and more) at http://www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software/ .
